Value Menu Deep Dive
McDonald’s runs the deepest value lineup of any major burger chain right now, split across four overlapping tiers. Knowing which tier covers which item helps you order the cheapest combination for what you actually want. For another chain’s take on value pricing, check our Sonic Menu With Prices page.
$4 Breakfast Meal Deal
McDonald’s added a $4 Breakfast Meal Deal on April 21, 2026. It pairs a breakfast sandwich with hash browns. Add a small coffee or soft drink and the total runs about $4 at most locations.
$5 and $6 Meal Deals, Lunch and Dinner
| Deal | Price (Est.) | Includes |
| McChicken Meal Deal | $5.00 | 4 piece McNuggets, small fries, small soft drink |
| McDouble Meal Deal | $6.00 | 4 piece McNuggets, small fries, small soft drink |
Under $3 Menu
The Under $3 Menu launched alongside the $4 Breakfast Meal Deal on April 21, 2026. Typical items include hash browns, a 4 piece McNuggets order, a hamburger, or small fries. Each is priced under $3 at most locations.
Buy One, Add One for $1
Select breakfast and lunch sandwiches let you add a second item for $1 more. This deal rotates by season and by location, so check the app to see which sandwiches qualify near you.
$1 $2 $3 Menu
McDonald’s older $1 $2 $3 Menu naming has mostly folded into the newer McValue structure above. Some locations still use the original signage though. Expect small fries or a small drink near $1. A McChicken or hash browns lands near $2, and small McCafe drinks near $3.
McDonald’s Prices by State, the Big Mac Index
McDonald’s menu prices change quite a bit by state, which is where the Big Mac Index comes in. The Big Mac Index is a measure created by The Economist. It compares currency value across countries using the price of a Big Mac as a common benchmark. Inside the United States, the same idea applies. Rent, wages, and local taxes shift fast food pricing from state to state. Hawaii, California, and New York usually show the highest Big Mac prices. Several states across the South and Midwest show the lowest.
| State | Big Mac Price (Est.) |
| Hawaii | $7.49-$8.69 |
| California | $6.49-$7.99 |
| New York | $6.29-$7.79 |
| Massachusetts | $6.19-$7.49 |
| Texas | $5.49-$6.49 |
| Ohio | $5.29-$6.19 |
| Mississippi | $5.09-$5.89 |
These figures are estimates pulled from multiple recent regional reports rather than a single confirmed source. McDonald’s franchise owners set their own local pricing in each market.
McDonald’s vs the Competition: Price Comparison
Comparing McDonald’s menu prices against Burger King and Wendy’s shows just how tight this market really is. McDonald’s and Burger King price their flagship burgers within about twenty cents of each other in most markets. Wendy’s tends to run slightly higher on its signature burger but offers more free topping customization. McDonald’s still leads on McNugget pricing once you compare equal piece counts against Wendy’s nuggets.
| McDonald’s Item | Price (Est.) | Competitor Item | Price (Est.) |
| Big Mac | $5.29-$8.69 | Whopper (Burger King) | $5.49-$8.49 |
| McDouble | $2.79-$4.19 | Dave’s Single (Wendy’s) | $3.49-$5.49 |
| 10 Piece McNuggets | $5.49-$7.49 | 10 Piece Nuggets (Wendy’s) | $5.29-$7.29 |
| Medium Fries | $2.69-$3.79 | Medium Fries (Burger King) | $2.59-$3.69 |
Calories Per Dollar, Best Value Items
We figured this out by dividing each item’s calorie count by its average price. That shows which menu items deliver the most food for the least money.
| Item | Calories (Est.) | Price (Est., mid-point) | Calories per Dollar |
| Hotcakes with Sausage | 760 | $5.39 | 141 |
| Big Breakfast with Hotcakes | 1090 | $7.74 | 141 |
| McDouble Meal Deal | approx. 870 | $6.00 | 145 |
| 20 Piece McNuggets | 830 | $9.74 | 85 |
| Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese | 740 | $8.74 | 85 |

About McDonald’s
Richard and Maurice McDonald opened the original restaurant in 1940 in San Bernardino, California. Ray Kroc joined as a franchise agent in 1955 and built the small chain into a national brand from there. Today McDonald’s operates in more than 100 countries. Most United States locations are owned and run by local franchise owners, not the corporation itself.
Sources and Methodology
We check McDonald’s menu prices with the official app, in person visits, and recent reporting from food industry outlets. That includes McDonald’s own corporate newsroom coverage of the 2026 McValue expansion. Every figure on this page is a range rather than a single confirmed number. Pricing changes by franchise owner, state, and city. This page was last reviewed in June 2026 by the TheMenuPrices.com editorial team.
Editor’s note for the site owner: add a named author with a short credential line here, for example years covering fast food pricing or a link to an author bio page, to strengthen this section further. We left this generic rather than inventing a fake byline.
